Blanket flowers, so-called because they'll cover your entire garden if you allow them to and keep you warm at night. They like to snuggle. I hope you're not ticklish in your armpits.

Gaillardia × grandiflora (blanket flower “Arizona Sun”)
Most plants that people grow in their gardens are of Eurasian origin. This is easy to explain. Some Eurasian flowers have been actively cultivated for thousands of years, and that’s a lot of time to develop different colors and shapes. However, the Americas have contributed a number of species of note.
One such international hit is the blanket flower. This cross between Gaillardia pulchella and Gaillardia aristata (called Gaillardia × grandiflora) has cracked the code and is now grown in gardens all over the world. It has even escaped cultivation and is now considered ‘naturalized’ in China and South Africa

Apeirophobia is the phear of inphinity. Apeirophobes are unable to do calculus. Inphinity is a necessary concept in calculus and many other subgenres of mathematics. Hope I spelled all those phwords phright.

I whipped up these two pieces for a local small format art show. Both are based on photos I took in my yard this year. I was planning to do something with the butterfly image from the time I took it, but the baby lizard on the blanket flowers came together really quick and I actually liked how it turned out much better than the butterfly. Maybe I'll give the butterfly another attempt one day.
